TOP GOLF – if you haven’t hear of it, you will soon. The new Allen location will open Spring 2011. In the mean time, you can go to the Dallas location to play – it’s similar to a driving range, but there are computerized microchips within each golf ball. Each ball contains the player’s information and then awards points by hitting targets that look like dart boards. This isn’t just for men – ladies love the sport too!

Below are a few tips for staying safe during the cold winter days & avoiding maintenance problems like frozen pipes:

If the temperatures dip below freezing, be sure to let your faucets drip

Never turn your heater completely off inside your apartment. It’s best to keep the heater on at all times, even if it is on a lower temperature than normal when you’re not at home

Avoid using space heaters – they are a dangerous fire hazard

Be careful on stairs where moisture can freeze easily & cause slippery surfaces

It is advisable not to drive during periods with ice or freezing precipitation, but if you must, stay on well traveled roads (like highways as opposed to side streets) and try to avoid bridges & overpasses if possible

If your car skids, do not hit the brakes! Take your foot off the gas & steer into the direction your car is skidding
